Exchange Traded Fund Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) ETFs are index-tracking funds that are tradable in real-time during market hours on an exchange. The objective is simple: to replicate as closely as possible the performance of an index. ETFs are easily accessible and flexible, making them suitable tools for investors looking to gain efficient exposure to the underlying index components without purchasing the individual basket of shares. ETFs are suitable for sophisticated retail and professional investors in the UK, who have a good understanding of the underlying market and characteristics of ETFs.
